Monster Hunting for Fun and Profit
Goran the Slayer
Explore other Universes. Hunt Deadly Monsters. Make a Profit. Goran the Slayer is the BADASS of the Reality Rifters interdimensional monster hunting group. He knows it, and he loves his job. Hunting deadly beasts across the omniverse for a profit is violent and challenging as hell, and business is good. When a particular bounty sends Goran and the other Reality Rifters to a backwards world to eliminate some demonic warp spiders that have decimated a small dark ages village, the job seems like nothing out of the ordinary. While looking for their quarry, it's strange enough that the village has become something of a ghost town, but the predicament of the townspeople darkens when the Reality Rifters run into more startling twists inside the fortified keep. And when their leader's device protecting the group's minds from the warp spiders' influence is unexpectedly disabled and everyone is separated, Goran mysteriously finds himself the only member of the team still able to think clearly. Will Goran the Slayer save his teammates from the horrific, mind-bending monsters and save the day? Will the Reality Rifters be able to recover and succeed in their mission? Will Goran ever meet a rainbow unicorn like he wants to??

Monster Hunting for Fun and Profit
(Books 1-6 + Box Sets + Extras)
Travel to parallel and bizarre universes to hunt monsters for profit and adventure … with dinosaurs. Less language and dread than Apocalypse Gate, and boatloads more adventure. A little less horror, but a whole lot of focus on feeling cosmically insignificant. Think “Rick and Morty” with guns, gold, and mythological beasts. Six books and two omnibuses, plus short stories and extras.
Apocalypse Gate
(Books 1-3 + Box Set + Extras)
Modern, dark and violent, full of chaos and dread, bad language, wild and crazy monsters, and alien/demonic worlds, this series follows six sets of deep characters trying to survive the end of the world. You haven’t read anything like this. It starts with an EMP, societal collapse, and prepper/SHTF survival, then it gets weird and horrific. Three books, one omnibus, plus short stories and extras.

Goran the Slayer - Monster Hunting for Fun and Profit Short - Written by Eddie Patin
Goran steps up to save the teams butts, then again will he be able to do it?
Goran the Slayer is the BADASS of the Reality Rifters interdimensional monster hunting group.
He knows it, and he loves his job. Hunting deadly beasts across the omniverse for a profit is violent and challenging as hell, and business is good. When a particular bounty sends Goran and the other Reality Rifters to a backwards world to eliminate some demonic warp spiders that have decimated a small dark ages village, the job seems like nothing out of the ordinary. While looking for their quarry, it's strange enough that the village has become something of a ghost town, but the predicament of the townspeople darkens when the Reality Rifters run into more startling twists inside the fortified keep. And when their leader's device protecting the group's minds from the warp spiders' influence is unexpectedly disabled and everyone is separated, Goran mysteriously finds himself the only member of the team still able to think clearly. Will Goran the Slayer save his teammates from the horrific, mind-bending monsters and save the day? Will the Reality Rifters be able to recover and succeed in their mission? Will Goran ever meet a rainbow unicorn like he wants to??
What did I like? This is a backstory to the series and some of the other members of the original team. I thought that it was very interesting to learn about the other Jason and how he managed things as compared to Jason 934 and what he was going through trying to learn and lead.
What will you like? Really exotic places with the most incredible mythical monstrosities, galactic horror and time travel that anyone could think up. The action that is astounding and fantastic narratives keeping you alongside the characters every step. This short is a great way to build into the next Jason ’s new life of Monster Hunting.

A funny story
The characters are wonderfully wacky, as is the story.
This book isn't rocket science, it's just funny entertainment! Read it.
